A compelling historical adventure starring Klaus Kinski as Don Lope de Aguirre, a ruthless 16th century Spanish conquistador, on an expedition into darkest Peru to find El Dorado, the mythical cities of gold. Accompanied by his daughter, Flores (Cecilia Rivera), a volatile Aguirre faces off against his superior, Don Pedro de Ursua (Ruy Guerra) as he attempts to seize control of the group. As Aguirre presses deeper into the Amazonian jungle, he spirals further into madness.

Werner Herzog directs Klaus Kinski in the first of their five, legendary, tempestuous, collaborations together. Definitely one to watch, or rewatch, on a big screen. [German with English subtitles]
